Methane (CH
4) is the second most important greenhouse gas. CH
4 is more potent than CO
2 because the radiative forcing produced per molecule is greater. In addition, the infrared window is less saturated in the range of wavelengths of radiation absorbed by CH
4, so more molecules may fill in the region. However, CH
4 exists in far lower...
